    Looked that way,bit like how he came out in round 100 and Golovkin just couldn’t stop it at all but GGG also knows after thirty seconds he blows which is when he pushes him back onto the ropes,agree about his jab and what about his right hand cause I doubt if he landed more than five the whole fight?

    Which is why a draw was the fair result,this is what should of happened at Ward v Kovalev 1 cause the stakes are so high it has to be decisive imo.

    Fighting and losing to Mayweather might have been the best thing to happen to Canelo . He is an intelligent fighter who I think took a page out of Mayweather's book and used it against Golovkin . He clearly outboxed GGG and if GGG uses the same tactics as he did in first fight then I am picking Canelo to win by decision . I don't have favourite , just want a good fight .

    I would tell Golovkin to try and land more body punches and use the overhand punches to the top/side of the head rather than jaw/face punches , more uppercuts also . Don't stand in front of Canelo so much , use angles more in and out movement ... Canelo is faster .

    I would tell Canelo to be the aggressor more . If he has the gas tank then throw more combination punches and not all knock out punches . I thought he only had to win two more rounds in the first fight to make it a very clear win . He really had a great fight last September against Golovkin .

    No that’s silly talk,look I’m a Golovkin fan and yes his chin is iron we all know that but to think he doesn’t get hurt is just silly cause you only have to look at the respect he gave Jacobs and Canelo and even Lemieux.

    The "smaller Canelo"?!!! He may be shorter but he was CLEARLY the bigger man in the ring. Canelo looked like a effing tank in their first fight.

    El Pollo does not have to fight, Oscar will own the judges, referee, boxing commission, we all know that! El Pollo knows the judges are for him, the referee is for him and Bob Bennett wants him to win....................Golovkin needs to knock El Pollo out to get a draw!

    Being cut up and muscular doesn't mean you're bigger.

    That's not how size works.

    Gilberto Ramirez is slim and undefined yet he is naturally bigger than both Canelo and Ggg.

    This. GGG does have an iron chin against most single shots. However, whenever Jacobs stood his ground and fired combos he was stopping GGG in his tracks, but he never tried to capitalize on it. Canelo also exposed that GGG is weak to body shots, since he hurt GGG early in the fight. GGG also foolish underestimated Lemieux's power and took and flush shot and got rocked.

    Lemieux, Jacobs, and Canelo all forced GGG to rely on his jab and pace himself, which he normally doesn't need to do because of his chin and power is usually more than enough.

    In other words, when he fights good opponents, GGG isn't this monstrous KO artist his fans and HBO made him out to be.

    No but that’s just it Isal he is the KO artist as his record says that but it’s just a fact of boxing isn’t it?that when you step up guys don’t get knocked out like those levels below em.
    Think it was Lennox who said at some point there’ll be guys who can take the power.
